“I’m so grateful and so happy that I got to play the last tournament,” said Davy Jones Ridout. “I was the last guy here, and I’m walking out with a nice guitar trophy.”

Event 20 wasn’t the final tournament that began during the 2021 WPT Tampa series, but it was the last one to finish, highlighted by more than an hour of three-handed play with nobody busting in an empty tournament room.

But eventually the dam burst, with Ben Miner busting in third place, and then Ridout defeated Wilmer Chavira heads-up for the title, the trophy, and $11,162.

“The final table was fantastic,” said Ridout, who was smiling and laughing through most of the final table regardless of the size of his chip stack.. “The other players were really fun, and I had a great time.”

Ridout’s final words were in appreciation of the staff here at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa.

“The tournament was awesome, and the dealers were amazing,” said Ridout. “The staff was really awesome. I couldn’t ask for anything else.”

Event 20 Champion Davy Ridout

A little while after Ben Miner was eliminated in third place, Wilmer Chavira got it all in from the button for about 300,000 with Kc4s, but he was dominated by the AsKd of Davy Ridout, needing to improve to stay alive.

The board came Qh10c7hJc8h, and Ridout won the pot — and the final event of the 2021 WPT Tampa series — with an ace-high straight.

Congratulations to Davy Ridout!

There was a full hour after the elimination of Eric Tarikas in fourth place where the final three players seemed to be playing cautiously. There were some all-in bets, but no calls.

They started out three-handed play nearly even in chips, but Ben Miner slowly lost chips until he was the clear short stack.

Eventually, Davy Ridout got it all in from the button for 680,000 with KcQs, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the JdJc of Wilmer Chavira in the big blind.

The board came Kd3s2h2d5d, and Ridout paired his king on the flop to win the pot and double up in chips.

Davy Ridout  –  1,410,000  (47 bb)
Wilmer Chavira  –  380,000  (13 bb)

A few minutes later, Ben Miner was all in from the big blind for 140,000 with Jh9h, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Davy Ridouts’s Kd7s in the small blind.

The board came Ac6s4hJc5c, and Miner paired his jack on the turn to stay alive and double up in chips.

Ben Miner  –  310,000  (10 bb)
Davy Ridout  –  1,250,000  (42 bb)

About five minutes later, Ben Miner was all in from the big blind for about 200,000 with Kh8h, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Davy Ridout’s AsJs in the small blind.

The board came Qs8s6hKs5d, and Ridout turned an ace-high flush to win the pot and eliminate Miner in third place.

Ben Miner  –  Eliminated in 3rd Place  ($4,005)

Davy Ridout  –  1,525,000  (51 bb)
